Project Description This game is mod of AssaultCube, and features five different Aiming Assistance techniques:

  1. 1.)Lock: Zelda inspired lock onto the closest opponent. Use q to lock when this technique is active.
  2. 2.)Bullet Magnetism: Bullets "bend" towards the closest target.
  3. 3.)Area Cursor: The activation area (crosshairs) become larger than normal. Think of it as a giant bullet being fired.
  4. 4.)Sticky Targets: Targets are given a stickiness efftect, preventing overshooting and making the target bigger in motor space.
  5. 5.)Target Gravity: Like lock, without needing to press a button to activate. Targets have a sort of gravitational pull, making it easier to move the cursor towards an opponent and makes it harder to move the cursor away.

The strength of the assistance depends on how far behind you are in kills from the leading player.

Note that the assistance also works on friendly players.
